Dozens of widely sold fruit juices were found to contain heavy metals—including arsenic, lead and cadmium—with "the potential to harm children who drink only a half cup per day".

Almost half of the juices tested "contained one or a combination of heavy metals that reached a level... researchers deemed concerning for daily consumption".

"The CDC says long-term exposure to heavy metals may put people at risk for kidney disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, damaged ability to learn, and certain types of cancer."
